Gu Jinli went to the pharmaceutical workshop and called Qiu Lang to mow the grass.

This was planned a few days in advance. When Qiu Lang and the others saw Gu Jinli coming, they immediately stopped the work at hand, and after cleaning up, they took the knives they borrowed from various families in the village and ran to the bamboo forest outside the house.

Gu Jinli pointed to a large patch of aphid grass in the bamboo forest and said: "You all know the aphid grass, and the red leaves are the same, just cut it like mowing grass." After cutting, the aphid grass is bundled and moved to the pharmaceutical workshop, and then the grass seeds and weeds are picked out. ”

"Yes." Qiu Lang and the others listened to it, and immediately started cutting the aphid grass.

Gu Jinli looked at Kan Liu and said, "Little Sixth Uncle, you take Uncle Dai and them to the old house at the end of the village, that is, to cut the grass in the yard of the old mud houses that my family bought." ”

Dr. Wu knew that she liked to plant aphid grass, and later when she bought medicinal herbs, she brought back 200 catties of grass seeds, and she replanted them in all the vacant land of the old house she bought, and now she can harvest them.

He said to Aunt Hong again: "Aunt Hong, you take Qingping and Qingrong and they go with Uncle Xiaoliu to help tie up the cut aphid grass and move it back." Hurry, there are still three hours before it gets dark, and you have to dare to cut all the aphids before dark. ”

Qingping and Qingrong are one of the twenty-three people brought by Mama Tao, they used to be maids, half of the older ones are Qingzi generation, and the younger ones are Baizi generation.

Blue, red, white, green and blue are the words for the names of these girls.

When Kan Liu heard this, he stumbled, almost fell, and turned his head to look at Gu Jinli, with a bitter face full of beard.

Gu Jinli winked at him and made a cheering motion.

Aunt Hong understood what Gu Jinli meant, so she didn't say anything, but just took Qingrong and them to help as instructed.

Nearly 100 people harvested the aphid grass together, and it was finished in less than two hours, and Kan Liu took Qiu Lang and them to help several other families cut the grass.

The village chief He took the people from He Laoguo, He Laotian, He Dasu, and He Wazi's family to see how to cut the aphid grass, and Uncle Dai got Gu Jinli's words and taught them on the side: "The aphid grass is red, easy to distinguish, just take out the grass leaves that are not red and throw them away after cutting." ”

He also explained: "You can't mix in weeds, otherwise it will lose its effect." ”

"Eh, Doctor Dai rest assured, we are all veterans of farm work, and we will not let there be weeds in the aphids." Village Chief He said, dragged Dr. Dai again, and asked quietly: "Doctor Dai, how much does Ming aphid sell for in the pharmacy?" ”

Doctor Dai smiled, the old village chief was a ghost, and he secretly asked him the price, but the little proprietor had already expected it, and said that if someone asked, he would be honest and there was no need to hide it.

"After drying, the high-grade Ming aphid is charged for six yuan in the pharmacy, and the selling price is ten yuan a catty."

Village Chief He sighed, the pharmacy is really good at making money, and it sold for an extra four cents as soon as it changed hands. However, after learning that Ming aphid grass could really be sold for six cents a catty, he was still very happy.

He calculated, although his family only planted twenty catties of grass seeds, but the aphid grass will grow, which is more rampant than the weeds, and it is densely packed and large. After harvesting and drying, there can be at least about 300 catties, and a catty of six cents is one or two or eight hundred cents.

Village Chief He exclaimed: "Eh, two taels of silver grow on the clearing, this grass is really valuable!" ”

Doctor Dai was taken aback by his shout, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "What's the problem with the village chief?" If not, I'll go and get busy first, and I'll teach you how to clean up the aphids and how to dry them tomorrow when you mow the grass. ”

"Eh, Doctor Dai, you're busy, I'll let Tongsheng pick you up tomorrow." Village Chief He was so happy that he dragged his crutches and followed the third grandfather to look left and right, looking at those bright aphids as if looking at strings of copper coins, the more he looked at it, the more energetic he became, until it was dark, He Tongsheng ran to call him home for dinner, and he took He Laoguo and them away.

Before dawn the next day, Village Chief He's family got up, and the villagers knew that their families were going to cut the aphid grass, so they all came to see the excitement.

Yesterday, when Qin Gu Luotian and a few families were cutting aphid grass, they wanted to go to see it, but unfortunately there were Wang Yongfu and Lao Zhu father and son, and He San Leper at the end of the village, and they couldn't get in, so they could only endure their curiosity and wait until today to see.

As a result, the more I look at it, the more confused I become.

"Village chief, that's how the aphid grass is cut? Isn't this like cutting weeds, and I thought that this aphid grass that could be sold for money would be cut very finely. ”

Someone asked, "Village chief, can this red grass really be sold for money?" ”

Before Village Chief He could speak, He Laosi's daughter-in-law swished, "Heh, what can you sell for money?" You go to the mountains and cut a load of weeds and sell them in the town, and a fool will pay for them. Village chief, your old man was deceived by the Gu family, and after the grass in your house is dried, it will definitely be stuffed into the stove and burned for life. ”

The village chief He was happy, and was poured cold water on the fourth daughter-in-law of He Lao, who was not lightly angry, and was not used to the fourth daughter-in-law of He Lao, and said directly to He Dacang next to him: "The fourth daughter-in-law is guilty of tongue, let your daughter-in-law find two women, escort her to the ancestral hall and kneel for five hours, so that she can eat and learn a lesson." ”

He Lao's fourth daughter-in-law was stunned, and then remembered that in the past year, Village Chief He has become more and more tough, and he will be punished according to the ancestral family law if he dares to provoke trouble.

He Village Chief said: "You run, you can run, can you never return to the village today?" You can't escape this punishment, kneel early and finish it early. ”

Seeing that he couldn't escape, He Lao's fourth daughter-in-law immediately pretended to cry and pleaded, but Village Chief He didn't eat her, so he still asked He Dacang's daughter-in-law and the two older women to escort her to the ancestral hall to kneel.

With the fact that He Lao's fourth daughter-in-law was escorted to the ancestral hall, the other women who wanted to say cool things all shut up, and after watching the excitement for a long time, they felt bored and panicked, and they went home.

But in just five days, the village felt that Village Chief He and the people who were being tricked were all shocked. It's just because the Gu family spent money to buy the aphids of the five families of Village Chief He and He Laoguo, and they cost six yuan a catty.

"Village Chief He's family sold a total of three hundred and forty catties of aphid grass and got twenty taels or forty dollars, and this useless vacant land really grew two taels of silver."

"He Shengzi's family sold more, it was sold for 400 catties, and he got 22 or 400 yuan, but his father was very happy."

"Eh, this aphid grass can really make money, what are we waiting for, hurry up and go to Gu's house to ask for grass seeds." He Daqiao's daughter-in-law was so excited that her eyes were red, and after speaking, she slapped her thigh and said, "Look at me confused, the Gu family doesn't allow us to go to the end of the village casually, we have to go to the village chief as a guarantor first." ”

said that he ran away in a hurry, and he didn't even want half of the water.

"Daughter-in-law of the bridge, you wait, let's go too." The other women in the village hurriedly followed, and also explained to the children at home: "Hurry back and ask your father to go to the village chief's house, there is silver growing in this field, you have to go and plant it quickly!" ”
